Thanks for the help so far.  Here's the output you requested:

[mythtv at localhost mythtv]$ rpm -qa ivtv
ivtv-0.1.9-24.rhfc1.at

[mythtv at localhost mythtv]$ cat /etc/modules.conf
path[toplevel]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates

add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111


It looks like the line...

alias char-major-81-0 ivtv

...is in the /etc/modules.conf file.

Thank you all for your help.
